A few different distributions of Virgo exist:[3] Virgo Nano, Virgo Kernel, Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat (embedding the Apache Tomcat servlet container) and Virgo Jetty Server (embedding the Eclipse Jetty servlet container). Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat is the primary distribution for OSGi development.
Virgo uses Spring Framework which is embedded and made available as a run-time dependency to deployed applications. Virgo is licensed using the Eclipse Public License.
Virgo was originally developed as SpringSource dm Server by SpringSource and is currently maintained by the Eclipse Foundation.[4][5] SpringSource is now a division of VMware.
